Existing law establishes a pilot program authorizing the Los Angeles Unified School District to use, before December 31, 2025, a best value procurement method for bid evaluation and selection for public projects that exceed $1,000,000. The pilot program establishes various requirements applicable to the use of the best value procurement method under the authorization. Existing law requires the school district to submit a report to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature on the use of the best value procurement method as provided and in accordance with a specified schedule. These provisions are repealed on January 1, 2026.
This bill would, instead, extend the program to authorize the governing board of any school district to use the best value procurement method for bid evaluation and selection for public projects that exceed $1,000,000. The bill would delete the reporting requirement and repeal date, thereby extending these provisions indefinitely, and make related conforming changes.
